Airsoft Gun Silencer

This is a silencer I made for my Airsoft gun. Made of two toilet paper rolls, one shortened a bit to make it the right length. Wrapped in duct tape, with bits on the rear end to make it stick to the gun (not messy bits all over the place though). Amplifies the sound of a dry fire because it's empty right now, but increases accuracy of shotgun style firing (when you cock the gun multiple times to load more BBs into the chamber). I might put paper in to make it actually silence the gun.

This does not make my gun any quieter (for now anyways). It's just for looks, I guess.

Look, i have been shooting guns (real and airsoft/bb) for years. There is NO piston in a spring gun UNLESS it is a sniper rifle. On a non-sniper, the spring is pulled back then released pushing a rod through the magazine chamber releasing a bb through the barrel. CO2 guns are the ONLY type of airsoft guns that can be silenced. the way to silence them is to put a gas-catcher around the outer barrel. around the gas-catcher should be outlet holes which allow the gas to move out of the gun not directly out of the barrel.

On a real gun, the silencing system is the same. The released gas is moved out the sides of the gun rather than straight out of the barrel creating reduced noise, not complete silence.

Trust me, don't fuss with silencing UNLESS you own an airsoft rifle or an airsoft gun powered by CO2. Trust me, you dont want a stupid looking gun.

I hope that you mean supressed... any way, gas gons are the only ones that can be silenced concentionally with foam and/ or baffles. others can be silenced via overlong barrels, airbrake piston heads, quieter drivetrain parts, ect.

Christ, don't you people know how to read? Half of the comments on this instructable are about things that I already talked about in the description. This is for looks ONLY, I was just screwing around with it. But you're still wrong about the piston issue, mine does not use a rod to push the BB out of the barrel. The piston never touches the BB. It's all air pressure.

I am working on one made with cell foam and electrical tape. The cell foam is alot more noise-reductive than toilet paper or pillow stuffing, but a little more expensive. Anyways, they all just cost around a buck, right?

Yeah, the guy below me is right. This won't silence the gun just cause its not gas powered, but its a mock silencer anyway. Next time try using pvc it lasts longer and looks better if its spray painted. Nice homemade diy, though

When an airsoft gun fires (spring, gas, electric, whatever) it produces gas. A spring powered airsoft gun uses a piston to compress air and send the bb flying downrage. When the bb leaves your barrel all that piston compressed air suddenly decompresses. Basically a silencer, wheather it be on a bb rifle or an airsoft gun or a sturmgwehr 44(old german assult rifle), allows the gas to expand and ,on a real gun, cool down. Therefore if the gas is decompressed it's velocity is slowed down, and if it's velocity is slowed down that means it makes less noise when it exits the silencer. Also the purpose of a "silencer" is not to make a gun quieter, it is to make a gunshot sound like something else.

Lol. I'd give you a high-res version of my avatar, but I'd like to preserve my online identity. Instead, you can have this (tell me if you want a better looking version). Yes, that is Kirby in a MJOLNIR Mark V suit from Halo 1.

OK, so.... do any of you realize that the reason an airsoft gun makes noise is because of the piston hitting the end of the cylinder... which means all the noise you hear is not coming out of the muzzle of the gun (expanding gas), but the solid parts of the gun... e.g. the hand grip, gearbox, clip, spring, etc. airsoft silencers can look look, but don't expenct any silencing... sorry

try making one out of a black film canister, cotton balls, pen tube, toilet paper cardboard tube made less wide, and PVC pipe it doesnt work for AEGs but it works great on spring guns u can barely hear it, i have one on my Desert Eagle .44
